How we keep chimney cleaning tidy and clear
Approving the cleaning after your free inspection
The inspection that starts a sweep costs you nothing. It gives you the estimate and a chance to ask about each line before any brush goes up. Take the time you need to read it, and ask about anything that is unclear.
Where you give the go-ahead no later than 72 hours after that free inspection, the sweep carries a 10% discount. The hours run from your own inspection. It applies to the cleaning and to any other service you book inside that time.
Draft problems a sweep can and cannot help
A flue narrowed by heavy deposits or a clogged cap screen can slow the draft. Some smoky fires improve once the passage is open again. Other causes sit elsewhere. The flue may be small for the opening, or the house may pull air down the chimney.
If smoke problems continue after the flue is clean, we do not suggest cleaning again. We explain what else could cause them and what an assessment would look at. You then decide whether to take that step or leave the fireplace as it is for now.
Timing the cleaning around your plans
Book the cleaning for a time before you plan to use the fireplace, not the morning after a fire. The firebox needs to be cold, and findings may need time to be dealt with. A little lead time keeps both simple.
If you have a date in mind for the next fire, tell us. We can plan the visit so that any repair found has room to be discussed and, if you approve it, scheduled. Rushing a repair to meet a date rarely helps the chimney.
Clean-up on the roof and around the house
Top work can shake loose soot, flakes of mortar or bits of old mesh. We cover what we can near the chimney before working and gather what falls onto the roof. Gutters and walkways below get a look before we leave.
Everything collected goes into the same bags as the debris from inside, and it all leaves with us. If something on the roof was already damaged before we arrived, we point it out rather than stay silent about it.
What sits inside the cleaning scope
- Smoke chamber and smoke shelf clearing
- Brush choice matched to the lining
- Glazed deposits priced as a separate item
- Walk-through of results at the hearth
Questions about chimney cleaning visits
Do you clean metal factory-built chimneys?
Yes. We identify the brand and follow its cleaning instructions. They say which brush materials suit the metal flue and how the cap comes off. Repairs to damaged sections have to use the manufacturer's listed parts.
Is a chimney cleaning the same as a chimney inspection?
No. A cleaning removes deposits and ends with a look at what the brushes reached. An inspection evaluates the chimney and fireplace as a system. They can be booked together, with the cleaning done ahead of the evaluation.
Is the cleaning covered by your workmanship warranty?
Yes. The warranty covers the work we did, which the written record describes. If something we handled does not work as it should afterward, tell us and we come back to look at it.
